I simplify the principles of fat loss and discuss a number of different ways on how to get into a calorie deficit.
And I'm back to spread some wisdom. In this episode I talk about why even though I'm a personal trainer I've still hired a coach.
Are you full of dismay if you don’t see instant results after changing your diet/exercise routine?
Does this cause you to throw in the towel thus returning to your normal eating behaviours?
If this rings a bell with you then give this episode a listen.
In this episode I talk about overtraining and why it may be limiting your progress.
So many people attempt to train most days but place almost no focus on their nutrition, daily activity, recovery etc.
I suggest ways you can progress faster while exercising less.
In this episode I speak to my ex online client Will.
He is currently on an amazing weight loss journey and has lost over 100 pounds (7 stone).
